About Yanick

Yanick Raymond is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She aims to make conversations feel straightforward and focused so people can find relief and clearer direction. Her approach begins by listening closely to what feels hardest right now.

She uses that information to set simple, practical goals together. Sessions tend to focus on steps you can try between meetings, not just talk about problems.

Background and approach

Yanick often uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Those methods are offered in everyday language and with specific exercises when helpful.

She has eight years of experience working with concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, communication problems, feelings of guilt and shame, and a sense of isolation. That background informs how she structures sessions and frames homework or practice activities. People who work with her usually do so to manage immediate symptoms and to build longer-term coping skills.

She emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and steady progress. The goal is clearer thinking, less reactivity, and more ability to face challenging moments with tools that work for everyday life.

How client-centered and CBT work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's goals. Online sessions let that supportive stance continue by making space to talk through feelings and priorities, and to set goals based on what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and then practices new reactions. In remote sessions, CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments you can try between meetings to see what changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending listening-focused sessions with CBT techniques, and adjusting over time as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share quick thoughts, get brief support between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make it simpler to get consistent help and to practice skills in real life.
